My closest peeps – I PROMISE you will all get handmade Birthday cards! October and November are the hardest months, the most birthdays, I am busiest… SO if I just plan ahead those cards will get created and happy mail will be sent! I make the cards… why is it so hard for me to actually send them!?! Birthday cards. I want to send more handmade cards to those I care about.

I need to focus on being more organized so I can fit it all in. I’m not going to beat myself up over it but I just want to be a better friend, a better chosen family member, a better girlfriend, a better daughter. I mixed it up here and there but I hope to do that a bit more and focus on my what heart wants to create, not necessarily what is easiest, or maybe what I think is my prettiest or best, but what I want to create. What I will try to do in 2015 is spread the love a little bit. I am not just a mixed media artist or art journaler. Let me know what you would like to learn more about- you guys inspire me so let me hear it! There will be more Loft Art Retreats (save the dates coming wicked soon), there will be more video tutorials, photo tutorials and over all teaching. I am redesigning which will have new features offerings! (shameless plug: if you want to be the first to know, in the loop and maybe even get coupon codes… be sure to subscribe to my email list) I will focus even more on my creative journey. It was funny, as my most hectic fall ever was winding down and I started to think of a word for 2015, without even finishing the thought process- focus jumped into my mind. I realize I bring a lot of that onto myself, but I also know my personality and that is what really drives me. I think the one thing that I keep coming back to is just how crazy life is, how busy and hectic and what a whirlwind it is. I tend to share more of my creative journey here with a little bit of personal “stuff” but over all I am happy with how I went forward and where that has brought me. You can see my posts about my previous words here:Ģ014 is over and as I was reflecting on the year- I realized I really did take my word to heart on so many levels. Its a great way to reflect and put a focus on your next 12 months. But today I wanted to share about the new year!įor the past few years I have been inspired by Ali Edwards to choose a one little word to reflect on throughout the year. I know it’s January 10th but I hadn’t had a chance to do a proper “Happy New Year” post 🙂 I did do a round up of my favorite projects from 2014.
